It was reported last week that Hernandez gave Kennedy’s family a watch worth $50,000. Kennedy was also allegedly the last person to see Hernandez alive the night before his suicide, according to the report. Kennedy was moved to a protective unit after Hernandez’s death. Army Jr. said that move was a standard precaution and that his client did not exhibit any “risky behavior.”

A court judge ordered investigators to release copies of the notes to Hernandez’ family. The former Patriots tight end's funeral was on Monday. He was found not guilty of a double homicide in April, though he was already serving a life-sentence for another murder. Hernandez killed himself in his jail cell last week.
